It pays to dig thru boxes at auctions. Most people I saw today were just glancing very briefly into boxes while I was digging. Found this plumb bob tube and the lid was on cock-eyed and cross threaded so it was pretty difficult to remove. But when I got it off and took it out I put it back in the box before anyone else saw it :-). I got the box of goodies for $5.

I hope your kidding, if not I would buy it from you
Always looking for what interests me, anything early Dodge Brothers/Graham Brothers trucks ( pre 1932 or so ) and slant six / Super six parts.

Even with the original packaging, ide say for five bucks you scored.

And I'm proud to be an American,
where at least I know I'm free.
And I won't forget the men who died,
who gave that right to me.

 Yes you did. You can get its twin on e-bay for $35+$7.30 shipping but you don't get a box. Congratulations on a bid well made.
